Why? Well as I walked to my car in the office car park, I realised that it was the first opportunity to switch on the air conditioning. However, I opted to sweat in the car, wearing my suit and not adjusting my tie, for the drive home. You might have gathered by now that I am a strange individual. Never mind, perhaps this feeling is just a temporary phase and there will be a point in the not too distance future when I will return to normal.

So this time I want to open up the phone lines, I mean the bloglines and give anyone that cares to have an opinion, to tell me which flag I should get and from which store. Actually let me phase that more directly, which flag of Saint George I should get for the car.
